mark o'mara, george zimmerman's attorney, joins me now. you have been involved in a number of high-profile cases. what do the police say? why is it from the prosecution side it took you so long to get the high resolution photo as opposed to the grainy black and white? >> well, it's just one example of the frustration that we've had in this case getting some discovery. again, we got the grainy black and white in the beginning. we then continued to ask for, we actually got a second one which was a color copy of a picture and finally last month we finally got the digital photo. it's just frustrating because this type of evidence should have come out day one and quite honestly, i think would have gone a long way to quelling all of the anger against george that was sort of propounded by some of the trayvon martin family handlers who just turned this into much more than it ever was in the beginning. >> well, we are where we are now. you heard mr. martin's family saying you've seen the earlier photo, he dismisses it, saying it's not significant,

to what degree does this help george zimmerman's case? does it change the case? >> obviously we're not in the legal process, so we don't know all the details. but i don't think it really tells you that much. it doesn't tell you at what point any injuries were sustained and what was going on when they were. clearly there was an altercation, which we always knew that. >> i'm a nonpracticing lawyer. >> you always do the denials first. i just want to say, this is not my client. then you launch into -- but if you see a guy's bloody face -- >> it's absolutely right there's some altercation. we know that. the fact that he has a bloody lip doesn't justify killing somebody. >> this does prove there was an altercation t might shed light or give evidence to some story of who was the aggressor at the time the killing took place. >> i would think if you're the member of a jury, looking at a now clean cut and cleaned up george zimmerman and someone shows the picture -- i don't think the wounds are devastating but certainly has been struck in around the mouth and nose. >> we ca

this is a photograph of george zimmerman, and this is a photograph that his lawyers are now releasing, and it is the night he was arrested in the shooting death of trayvon martin. what is critical about this photograph is it's the first time we are seeing his face up close, and it seems to at this very early stage with just this angle of the photograph corroborate what he says may have happened in an altercation with trayvon martin. don't forget that george zimmerman is arguing that he shot in self-defense when he killed that unarmed black teenager. he says that trayvon martin had bashed him in the nose, breaking his nose, and then hit his head repeatedly against a sidewalk. here is the photograph that police took in their cruiser that night. what's incredible is that we have not had access to this photograph until now, and it has been many months since this happened. this came by way of something called discovery. the state finally released this photograph to george zimmerman's lawyers in the case against him, and they, in turn, have released it to the media. it certainly does bolste
